General description

Neutral amino acid transporter, also known as ASCT2, is an alternate of the ASC (alanine-, serine-, cysteine-) transport system and is highly expressed in rat astroglia-rich cultures while not highly expressed in rat neuron-rich cultures. ASCT2 is also thought to be important in the glutamine release from cells. ASCT2 has been implicated in the growth and survival of cancer cells, therefore making it a possible target for cancer therapy. ASCT2 is thought to be a crucial neuronal neutral amino acid transporter.

Specificity

No homology found to mouse or rat. Other homologies: rhesus monkey (93% sequence homology).
This antibody recognizes Neutral amino acid transporter at the N-terminus.

Immunogen

Epitope: N-terminus
KLH-conjugated linear peptide corresponding to the N-terminus of Neutral amino acid transporter.

Von Hippel Lindau (VHL) inactivation, which is common in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), leads directly to the disruption of oxygen homoeostasis. VHL works through hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs). Within this VHL-HIF system, prolyl hydroxylases (PHDs) are the intermediary proteins
